Resumen
El Proyecto “Sistematización y Análisis de las Contribuciones de los Parques
Nacionales y Reservas Biológicas al Desarrollo Económico y Social en Costa Rica,
Benín y Bután” fue desarrollado por CINPE y ejecutado bajo el Programa de Cooperación
Sur-Sur (financiado por Reino de los Países Bajos y administrado por Fundecooperación),
del cual el presente estudio de caso es parte integral.
Este proyecto fue desarrollado en tres países y fue coordinado por el Centro Internacional
de Política para el Desarrollo Sostenible (CINPE) de la Universidad Nacional (UNA) de
Costa Rica. La contraparte en Benín es el Centre Béninois pour l'Environnement et le
Développement Economique et Social (CEBEDES). Mientras en Bután es la División de
Conservación de la Naturaleza del Ministerio de Agricultura y Bosques del Real Gobierno
de Bután.
El objetivo general del Proyecto es sistematizar y analizar la contribución socioeconómica
–descentralizada y centralizada- de los parques nacionales y reservas biológicas al
desarrollo económico y social de Costa Rica, Bután y Benín y hacer recomendaciones de
política para apoyar a los tomadores de decisiones en el manejo de los parques nacionales y
reservas biológicas.
El Parque Nacional Palo Verde (PNPV) declarado humedal de importancia internacional en
1991 (sitio ramsar), es uno de los 3 estudios de caso analizados en Costa Rica y fue
seleccionado por un grupo de expertos por cumplir con diversos criterios que lo sitúan
como un Área Silvestre Protegida importante en la protección de ecosistemas únicos y
diversidad de paisajes. Este PN también es distinguido por la investigación y educación que
en él se generan. Gran cantidad de científicos, académicos y estudiantes vienen a Costa
Rica con el objetivo único de visitar el parque.
La metodología empleada en el estudio combina el análisis de clúster con una dinámica de
cadena de valor agregado, donde el PNPV constituye la base material que sustenta la
existencia y reproducción de diversas actividades socioeconómicas, que dependen directa e
indirectamente de su conservación. Estas actividades reportan contribuciones cualitativas y
cuantitativas para diversos actores sociales en los ámbitos local, regional, nacional e
internacional.
En un esfuerzo por traducir estas contribuciones en términos monetarios, la búsqueda,
sistematización y análisis de información primaria y secundaria permite realizar una
estimación de los aportes del PNPV para el año 2009. A este respecto, la contribución
global de esta área asciende aproximadamente a ¢1.106.217.230 (US$1.936.446.4). De este
total alrededor del 29,53% permanece en el ámbito local, 1,58% en el ámbito regional,
61,41% en la escala nacional y un 7,48% en la esfera internacional
The Project „‟Systematization and Analysis of the Contributions of National Parks and Biological Reserves to the Economic and Social Development in Costa Rica, Benin and Bhutan’’ was developed by CINPE and executed under the Program of South-South Cooperation (financed by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and administrated by Fundecooperación), from which this case study is integral part. This project was developed in three countries and it was led by the International Centre for Policy for Sustainable Development (CINPE) of the Universidad Nacional (UNA) of Costa Rica. The counterpart in Benin is the Centre Béninois pour l'Environnement et le Développement Economique et Social (CEBEDES). While in Bhutan is the Division of Nature Conservation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests of the Royal Government of Bhutan. The project's general objective is to systematize and analyze the socio-economic contribution – decentralized and centralized - "of national parks and biological reserves to the economic and social development of Costa Rica, Bhutan and Benin and make policy recommendations of management to support policy makers in the management of national parks and biological reserves. Palo Verde National Park (PNPV), declared wetland of international significance in 1991 (ramsar site), it is one of the three case studies analyzed in Costa Rica. This one was selected by a group of experts to accomplish several criteria, which place it as a Protected Wildlife Area, important for the protection of unique ecosystems and diversity of landscapes. This PN is also distinguished by research and education generated on it. A great number of scientists, academicians, and students come to Costa Rica in order to visit the park. The methodology used in the study combines the cluster analysis with a dynamics of added value chain, where PNPV constitutes the material basis that underpins the existence and reproduction of diverse socio-economic activities that depend directly and indirectly on their preservation. These activities report qualitative and quantitative contributions to various social actors at local, regional, national and international levels. In an effort to become these contributions in monetary terms, the search, systematization and analysis of primary and secondary information allows an approximate estimation of the contributions of PNRV for 2009. In this regard, the global contribution of this area amounts approximately to ¢1.106.217.230 (US$1.936.446.4). From this total, around 29,53% remains at local level, 1,58% at regional level, 61,41% at national level and 7, 48% at international level.
